detailed description
The TPS707xx low dropout regulator family provides dual regulated output voltages for DSP applications that
require a high-performance power management solution. These devices provide fast transient response and
high accuracy with small output capacitors, while drawing low quiescent current. Programmable sequencing
provides a power solution for DSPs without any external component requirements. This reduces the component
cost and board space while increasing total system reliability. TPS707xx family has an enable feature which puts
the device in sleep mode reducing the input currents to less than 3
A. Other features are integrated SVS (power
on reset, RESET) and power good (PG1) that monitor output voltages and provide logic output to the system.
These differentiated features provide a complete DSP power solution.
The TPS707xx, unlike many other LDOs, feature very low quiescent current which remains virtually constant
even with varying loads. Conventional LDO regulators use a pnp pass element, the base current of which is
directly proportional to the load current through the regulator (IB = IC/β). The TPS707xx uses a PMOS transistor
to pass current; because the gate of the PMOS is voltage driven, operating current is low and stable over the
full load range.
pin functions
enable
The EN terminal is an input which enables or shuts down the device. If EN is at a voltage high signal the device
will be in shutdown mode. When the EN goes to voltage low, then the device will be enabled.
sequence
The SEQ terminal is an input that programs which output voltage (VOUT1 or VOUT2) will be turned on first. When
the device is enabled and the SEQ terminal is pulled high or left open, VOUT2 will turn on first and VOUT1 will
remain off until VOUT2 reaches approximately 83% of its regulated output voltage. At that time the VOUT1 will
be turned on. If VOUT2 is pulled below 83% (i.e., over load condition) VOUT1 will be turned off. This terminal has
a 6-
A pullup current to VIN1.
Pulling the SEQ terminal low reverses the power-up order and VOUT1 will be turned on first. For detail timing
diagrams refer to Figures 36 and 42.
power–good
The PG1 terminal is an open drain, active high output terminal which indicates the status of the VOUT1 regulator.
When the VOUT1 reaches 95% of its regulated voltage, PG1 goes into a high impedance state. PG1 goes into
a low impedance state when VOUT1 is pulled below 95% (i.e. over-load condition) of its regulated voltage. The
open drain output of the PG1 terminal requires a pullup resistor.
manual reset pins (MR1 and MR2)
MR1 and MR2 are active low input terminals used to trigger a reset condition. When either MR1 or MR2 is pulled
to logic low, a POR (RESET) will occur. These terminals have a 6-
A pullup current to VIN1.
sense (VSENSE1, VSENSE2)
The sense terminals of fixed-output options must be connected to the regulator output, and the connection
should be as short as possible. Internally, sense connects to high-impedance wide-bandwidth amplifiers
through a resistor-divider network and noise pickup feeds through to the regulator output. It is essential to route
the sense connection in such a way to minimize/avoid noise pickup. Adding RC networks between the VSENSE
terminals and VOUT terminals to filter noise is not recommended because it can cause the regulators to oscillate.
FB1 and FB2
FB1 and FB2 are input terminals used for adjustable-output devices and must be connected to the external
feedback resistor divider. FB1 and FB2 connections should be as short as possible. It is essential to route them
in such a way as to minimize/avoid noise pickup. Adding RC networks between the FB terminals and VOUT
terminals to filter noise is not recommended because it can cause the regulators to oscillate.
